I had the same problem with Firefox 0.9 for viewing web pages. Fixed it by choosing the "Use settings for 'application' group" option on the Embedded page. I think this should be the default option so changes made in the Find filename pattern window is the default option.

SOmething I've started noticing - my artsd process chews ~30 - 40% CPU time when any app is using it (such as JuK), and my system load rises past 2. This tends to cause some apps to start responding more slowly. Apart from turning artsd off, is there any fix for this?

Believe it or not, those responsible for this think that it is a usability improvement. I hope that if they refuse to change it back that they will at leaset make it possible to configure it to work the old way by editing some '*rc' file.

Just wanted to chip in with a big congrats to the developers of this amazing DE. Since my laptop is a P4 2.0 MHz with 512 MB of RAM, I wasn't expecting to see much improvement in performance since KDE was fast already. Man, was I mistaken! You guys realy know how to optimize. I haven't finished trying out all the new features, and testing the bugs I knew of, but I have a feeling I won't be disappointed. Keep up the great work.

i have previously upgraded from 3.15 to 3.2. Now i have a problem when opening device links from the desktop. On click the device is mounted, but konqi doesn't open. Instead the windows emulator wine tries to open the device. I tried to find a configuration to change these wrong association. Does someone know where to change this?

I built gcc 3.4.1 on my linux development box and tried to build KDE 3.2.3 with it. Doh! There is a bug in that version of gcc which prevents correct compilation of classes which inherit from classes where templates are involved.

I built gcc 3.3.4 and tried again - presto! the compile went through OK.

Sure hope this saves someone the days it has taken me to track this down, after looking in all the wrong places first....sigh!

The gcc 3.4.1 bug showed up when trying to compile libksvgdom_la.all_cc.cc:
